In the EB editor you can select all front edges from the drop down menu, and change all the parts at once. I don't think it can be done globally in a room.
It would be nice if in the next software version there were a few more selections in the Custom Layout Editor to change materials other than just the sheet stock. I would also like to be able to have a selection in the Cabinet/Assembly Editor to select an entire directory or selected cabinets and change the Construction Settings for all that are selected at one time. So, if you have a library of cabinets you could adjust them all at once without having to slowly change each cabinet. While I'm wishing, it would also be nice to be able to change the hardware for all of the selected cabinets. So, if you wanted to change from one drawer guide to another it would not take you a day.
As for your post, I notice that you guys also are using edge banding. I have attached a sample of one of our labels. We are having some difficulties as the operators at the edge banding machine are unaware of what type of edge banding is needed, for example a part could have face colour front and beech back. But the label only states what edge to edge.
Are any of you guys facing the same problem? if so how do you go about it?
